Website on programming exercises and challenges

[evander]

Hi everyone!

I have started giving employee training on VBA for Access, and I divided my training program into three parts:

a. Basic programming
          Form and controls
          Data types and variables
          Subroutine procedures and function procedures
          Conditions (If and Select Case)
          Loops (Do While, Do Until, For, For Each)
          Strings, Dates, and Times
          Arrays
          Basic object-oriented programming
          Debugging
b. Access programming (DoCmd, etc...)
c. Database programming (ADO, DAO)

I listed the details of part (a) because that's what my question is about.

QUESTION: Does anybody know a good reference for basic programming, that has lots of exercises and challenges that may or may not constitute an entire program?
I just need my audience to develop "abstract logic" in programming. I'm having difficulty coming up with my own exercises. The audience are not IT or computer science graduates, but business administration graduates. They learn quite fast though. So I want to give them programming exercises to further enhance their skills.

For example, I want to give them an exercise on extracting numbers in an alphanumeric string, or the ever-popular calculator...

Thanks a lot. Hoping for a response.
